This proof-quality 99.99% pure silver painted coin is part of the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting 2014 five-coin series featuring the beautiful and powerful Bald Eagle-an iconic North American species. Here, as it soars high above the Canadian wilderness, the Bald Eagle is shown in flight, wheeling high in the air as it positions itself to dive.

The reverse image by Canadian artist Claudio D'Angelo features a unique portrait of a Bald Eagle in flight. As the eagle turns abruptly in mid-air, angling itself to dive, we are presented with a view of the graceful raptor's underside. Its outstretched wings, dark body, powerful legs, white tail and head, and yellow beak and talons are presented in stunning detail and full colour through selective paint application. In the background, we see the isolated shoreline of the body of water below. A steep pine-covered hill rises to the left, its rocky shore dotted with islands and outcroppings. In the far distance, a similar shoreline rises on the opposite side of the water.
